Winter's cold and snowy weather can make playing outdoors a challenge.

But the Des Moines metro has an abundance of indoor destinations filled with trampolines, slides and inflatables that can help active kids and their parents avoid cabin fever.

Here’s a quick guide to many of the metro's indoor playgrounds and trampoline parks. Open play hours and prices are listed. Check individual websites for additional pricing packages and hours for groups, birthday parties, special jump times and holidays.

Hop-A-Lot

Run by an Iowa inflatables rental company, this pop-up shop first opened last year near the food court inside Merle Hay Mall. It features more than a dozen inflatables including bounce houses, slides, obstacle courses and more.

Pump It Up

Children can shoot hoops, run obstacle courses and slide down a 20-foot slide on the inflatables in this Urbandale playground. Kids are also encouraged to use their imagination with "Motion Mania" games and large building blocks.

Address: 4069 121st St., Urbandale

Open jump hours: Typically 10 to 11:30 a.m. Monday through Friday

Additional open jump times vary and are listed a week in advance online.
